THE COMPANY
The search for scenic poetry has a primordial place in the work of the two choreographers who remain very attentive to the evolution of society.
Additionally, the company is committed to projects with a strong social impact with various audiences, both in their home territory and internationally.
‘But Le Bon Air festival didn’t just mix DJs, it also brought music and dance together, turning simple DJ sets into a real show. While Goldie B, one of the festival’s ambassadors, had a blast remixing “Dame tu cosita” in a drum and bass version with La Dame, the Brussels-based producer, around 10 dancers from the Essevesse Dance Company cut through the crowd armed with LEDs to make them stand out. For twenty minutes, they delivered a performance that was as contemporary as it was sensual, coming close to the universe of the collective La Horde. The duets performed a series of lifts, many of them genderless. Thanks to art and to Essevesse for exploding the clichés’.
Sensitive to the topics of gender-identity and diversity, Antonino and Fabio are committed to participate in the fight for equal rights, through the expression of gesture, within the diversity of gender: transgender, non-binary, people who question their gender identity. The transformation of the body and the freedom of its representation are the main inspiration for the artists, who wish to explore all the poetry that emerges from it. To do so, Antonino and Fabio, in collaboration with Transat association, have created an artistic project with a strong social impact : Danses-en-trans.
Fabio & Antonino propose a weekly dance workshop, open to every transgender or non-binary person, at the Théâtre de l’Œuvre in Marseille.
The workshops operate as a drop in basis, with no experience necessary.
The free and individual expression is enhanced as well as the cohesion of the group.
Every Friday, 4.30pm-6.30pm.
The artists propose an intense dance workshop of 3 days (4-5 hours per day) to create a performance with the participants who wish to take part in this creative adventure.
It will be an opportunity for them to raise their voice though dance in a public space. The performances are mainly held during significant days for the LGBTQIA+ community.
